+--- Thread: CoolMon Plugin - would be really awesome (/thread-327.html)
- Trackrun5 - 06-22-2002
I've been a long-time user of True Launch Bar and also another program called CoolMon (or CoolInfo), which displays system statistics (such as ram use, drive space, network activity, etc) on the desktop. It would be really cool if there was a plugin to display these stats in True Launch Bar. This way the stats would always be visible without sitting in front of windows.

I think it would be a fairly easy plugin to implement.

Yea, I use coolmon to.. would be nice to be able to just use TLB for everything
Ex:
Ram Used/Free
Top Process
/etc

I've kind of added this to the suggestion box already..did this last week. I titled it "System Monitor Improvements". There used to be a program that did this called CureInfo...but the author has "upgraded" it and it doesn't work the same way anymore...it just overlays info over the taskbar or desktop...not actually a part of the taskbar. And, I can't find the old program any more.

ya, i tried just dragging CoolMon over the taskbar, but the taskbar's "always on top" is more powerful than coolmon's "always on top". so a plugin is probably needed

actually, i was just thinking, this would be very easy to implement. there's code available to put coolmon stuff into html form to put on the web. all the TLB plugin would have to do is be able to display html with a transparent background or something. wouldn't even have to touch the coolmon exec. one possible problem though, I don't know how often the html refreshes
